Verdict

The call

Teacher Simulator and Idol Empire both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 49% of Teacher Simulator's written reviews are positive against 23% of Idol Empire's. Teacher Simulator also leads on ratings volume (832K vs 1.3K). Idol Empire's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
